The title says it all. My writing website, Young Writers Online, has been included in Writer's Digest's list of best websites for writers for 2011! This is phenomenal news for me, my staff, and the members of YWO.

YWO has been around since 2007. In the last four years, we've done some amazing things:

Most importantly: managed a wonderful community for young writers (constructive criticism included!)

Much more has been done in the past, and much more is yet to occur. The years are being very kind to YWO.

So congrats to all the members of the site who made YWO a great place to be, to my staff, and, I suppose, to me for managing the place (though I don't feel as though I do terribly much).

P.S.: I went to the store and bought the issue in which YWO is listed. See below (after the fold):

The # is largely irrelevant, since the list is divided into sections/types rather than a countdown list. We're in the Online Writing Communities section alongside places like Critique Circle, Absolute Write, Critters Workshop, and NaNoWriMo!
